Information on the use of
Erkki-Sven Tüür's compositions/scores for film soundtracks is hard to come by. Only two
films (Ideaalmaastik and Sada aasta pärast mais)
are currently (November, 2002) listed at the Internet Movie Data Base. The only
printed sources found to date are the Erkki-Sven Tüür entry by Monika Topman in the Eesti
Muusika Biograafiline Leksikon (EMBL) (Estonian Music Biographical
Lexicon) (Valgus Publishers, Tallinn, 1990, ISBN 5-89900-008-2) where a brief listing of
films is available and the book Estonian Film 1991-99 (F-Seitse
OÜ Publishers, Tallinn, 2000, ISBN 9985-60-886-0) where only the films from the 1990's
are documented. Once further information is known, it would be possible to make additions
to the Internet Movie Data Base at www.imdb.com. The
links below go to the IMDB specific pages for Ideaalmaastik and Sada
aasta pärast mais and the other feature, short feature and documentary
films are currently linked to the IMDB opening page only. The animation films are linked
to their own pages at the Estonian Animation Film Studio site www.nukufilm.ee where applicable. Further information is
also available at the Estonian Film Studio site www.tallinnfilm.ee.
